Here’s a 100-piece online jigsaw puzzle of Viola sitting in the afternoon sun. She seems to like sitting in both sun and shadow. Have fun!

08/10/2020 – Monday Miscellaneous

We’re loaded with miscellaneous photos this month. Mom’s not sure how that happened but there it is, regardless. Mom’s not sure of much of anything at the moment. She worked so many days straight last month, she’s not sure which is up or down most days. Olivia tried talking her into taking a day off. “Not possible,” Mom says. It’s okay, Olivia. Her working keeps you in the manner of which you are accustomed, that of looking fabulous with your one white whisker.

Mom liked this photo because she doesn’t get to see the sunrise or any cat who happens to be standing in it.

Aww, Quint in one of his famous blanket forts. Could any place possibly be any more cozy than this?

Hey, look! Tessa isn’t getting into trouble! We’ll thank Mom for putting a glass dome over that fake fern last weekend to keep certain tuxie cats from chewing on it.

Not photographed is Pia Bean, who has decided to go on strike until Mom gets a day off. Pia spends her mornings with Dad before he logs into work and her afternoons napping in a cool, secluded spot between a chair and an antique trunk. Mom bets that even on a rare off day, Pia would do much the same thing. Pia is very much a creature of habit.

In other miscellaneous news, Facebook keeps locking Mom out. Other than thinking mean thoughts about fb from time to time, she’s done nothing wrong that we can make out. But she’s sad that she hasn’t been able to update you all on how we’re doing, or properly thank angels who are looking out for us and all the Colehaus Cats. We’ll continue to try to sort that out and in the meantime, other than Mom working seven days a week for a while now (and a while still to go), experiencing her second close run-in with Covid-19 from coworkers, and Dad still unable to find work paying above minimum wage, we and all the cats are doing okay. Hope you’re hanging in there, too! Sending out good thoughts to everyone!

Here’s a 110-piece online jigsaw puzzle of Quint in his blanket fort. With softer colors, this one might be a challenge. It was for Mom!

08/07/2020 – Playing with Tessa

Tessa, is that you we see playing, you with those wild eyes? We thought you were through with all that. Your reputation of being a serious, stern cat and all that.

You’re absolutely right. I have a reputation to uphold and that was not me playing. I was . . . simply . . . monitoring the possibility of that toy’s movement. My *paw quotes* wild eyes, *paw quotes* as you put it, was my potential alarm that a toy would move, perhaps, on its own. And thus, I *paw quotes* may *paw quotes* have been considering adjusting its location. If anything, I was being stern with that toy, that purple butterfly toy that’s a well-known trouble-maker.

Ah, okay. Just checking . . . and so, we guess there’s no reason to keep these other photos that may or may not show you *finger quotes* playing. *finger quotes* To keep your reputation up, you know.

So, we’ll just throw all these photos away, since you don’t play with toys or anything.

You just always have to be right, don’t you, Mom.
